Duffy's Last Day of First Grade!

I really can't believe it.  Duffy has finished first grade and will be entering second grade this fall.  He is growing up so quickly and is becoming so independent.  Here are some pictures of his last day of school.

Congratulations, Duffy!  We are so proud of you and love you so much.

New York, New York

A couple of weekends ago, Stephen and I went to NYC.  We had a great time and really enjoyed getting away. Of course, we missed Duffy and Lulu but it was great to walk through the city.  I think my favorite part (with the exception of shopping) was the Highline. Enjoy..

Neat building walking back from Soho

And after..

It was a great trip and thanks to Mimi and Pappy for watching the kids.  Thank you!

Let's Go O's!

A friend of mine from work was kind enough to give us his 4 Orioles tickets since he was going to be out of town. They were amazing seats, right behind the visitor's dugout.  Duffy and Lulu had a wonderful time and each were lucky enough to come home with a baseball.  Unfortunately, the O's lost but we had a great time and Duffy and Lulu really enjoyed checking out Camden Yards and watching the game.

Having fun on the escalators for a potty break at a nearby hotel...

Happy Father's Day (a bit early)!

We celebrated Father's Day a bit early this year for a variety of reasons but we still really enjoyed it.  Happy Father's Day, Daddy.  We love you so much and hope you enjoy your present.  You are the best daddy in the world. We love you so much!!!

Mommy's Favorite

If you know me well, you will know that peonies are some of my favorite flowers in the world. To me, they just capture the essence of beauty.  I was lucky enough to find some beautiful ones that have just blossomed so nicely.

Duffy's Last Soccer Game!

Last weekend was Duffy's last spring soccer game for 1st grade.  He has really practices a lot and has improved greatly.  He has really positive coaches and has made some wonderful friends.

Having fun watching her brother..

Preparing to score his goals (2) for the day..

It's hot out here..

I scored!

Game over--listening to his coach's end of year speech..

Duffy, congratulations on a great season. We love you and are so proud of you.
